Amazon Prime Day SSD deals: what to expect

Show more

The huge competition and relatively low prices and margins in the portable SSD market – indeed across almost all of the storage space – means that there are some surprisingly big discounts this year.

Every SSD has the pace to stream media and transfer files, but look for something with read and write speeds of 1000MB/s or beyond to accelerate game loading times and file movement – handy if you want a drive for work.

We recommend buying a drive with rugged features if you frequently take the drive on commutes and trips. And while you will find lots of drives that boast robust aluminum enclosures, it’s best to find a drive with proper MIL-STD and IP-rated testing and design to ensure that it’ll stand up to the rigors of frequent travel.

Make sure your new drive has the connections you need, whether that’s USB-C, full-size USB or something else. Consider its measurements and weight if that’s important to you, and consider encryption options if you’ll be using it to store sensitive files. And remember that it’s often worth paying a little more for a longer warranty - cheaper drives tend to have three-year cover, while premium products usually have five years of protection.
